PLUMBERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Information
Brazed connections should NOT be made directly onto the mixer, as exccesive heat will
*
cause permanent damage.
All pipework must be thoroughly flushed prior to installation.
*
Installation (Fig.1 & Fig.2):-
1)
Attach mixer body (15) onto a suitable mounting plate or noggin in the wall and secure using
screws (not supplied) through the holes in its base. When facing the mixer, the connections
should be as follows:-
Hot water inlet connection 'HOT', to the left.
Cold water inlet connection 'COLD', to the right.
Mixed water outlet connection to bath, vertically downwards. Blank off top port using plug (16).
Mixed water outlet connection to shower, vertically upwards. Blank off bottom port using plug (16).
Check all connections for leaks.
Important :
Mixer body (15) must be installed square to the wall/tile face, to ensure cover plate (11) sits flush.
*
2) Carefully prise the black plastic fixing plate (13) from the chrome plated cover plate (11). Fit foam
seal (14) into fixing plate (13), as shown (Fig.2). Fit the fixing plate (13) over the chrome sleeve (6)
of mixer body (15) (Fig.1), ensuring the screw holes in the fixing plate (13) align with the mating
threaded holes in the lugs of mixer body (15). Assemble screws (12) through the holes in the fixing
plate (13) then screw into threaded holes in mixer body (15). Tighten each screw (12) equally until
the fixing plate (13) abuts the wall/tile face and the foam seal (14) is fully compressed. Note: Foam
seal (14) will accommodate most wall surfaces, however for extremely uneven walls use silicon
sealant to achieve a watertight seal.
3) Ensure the 'O'ring is in position in the groove of fixing plate (13) and the body seal (10) is fitted
to the cover plate (11), then carefully slide the cover plate (11) onto the chrome sleeve (6) of mixer
body (15) taking care not to damage the decorative finish. Push the cover plate over the 'O'Ring of
fixing plate (13) until the cover plate abuts the wall/tile face.
4)
Locate and hold the handle (4) onto the cartridge (9), then tighten grub screw (3) using 2.5mm
allen key (2). Fit plug (1), taking care that the red indication is to the left.
5)
Turn on hot and cold water supplies and check operation
Replacing Cartridge (Fig.2)
1) Turn off hot and cold water supplies.
2)
Carefully remove plug (1) before using a 2.5mm allen key (2) to loosen
grub screw (3) and remove handle (4). By using the spanner (5)
provided, unscrew the sleeve (6) taking care not to damage the
decorative finish. Remove the old cartridge (9).
3) Ensure inside face of mixer body (15) is clean. Check that seal is in
position in base of new cartridge (9). Fit new cartridge (9) into
mixer body (15), taking care that two lugs on base of cartridge (9)
fit into mating holes in mixer body (15).
4)
Fit the threaded sleeve (6) over the cartridge (9), then screw and
tighten firmly using spanner (5) to ensure a watertight connection
between the cartridge (9) and the mixer body (15).
5) Locate and hold the handle (4) onto the cartridge (9), then tighten
grub screw (3). Replace plug (1), taking care that the red
indication is to the left.
6)
Turn on water supplies and check operation.
